Default 1DmkIII firmware 1.2.5 joystick feature question
I read here: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/746505 that the joystick can now be used to select the focus point. Can anyone else confirm this? I'm planning on purchasing a 1DmkIII real soon and if this is now possible, it would be more icing on the cake.

Joystick works good. Once you start using it you'll think you could never live without it..........
